Sorry for such a massive gap between blogs. It's been a mad week getting settled in, but I have officially started!
Yay!
Its been brilliant getting aquainted with London, and it helps if you have an iPad with you to download awesome apps like the tube map ; )
I attended my first course last week, Intro to Fashion, a very basic course, but for me a complete re-introduction into fashion design, where I can learn about research and development of my collections in future. Start to delve into ait all a bti more next week. I was lucky enough to get a very cool project to develop on that will be called Carnal Val, a play on the emotion of savage and carnal emotion and carnival. We have complete freedom in what we want for this. Should be interesting.
Wednesday was Illustration for Jewelry Design. Well, I wanted drawing and thats what I got : ) this will be a hard course, very technical and patience will be a major virtue. We have to do spec drawing of jewelry pieces to scale... pretty much. As a perfectionist it may take me a while but im sure I will get there. My teacher is so funky and very talented, Hannah Martin, jewelry for men that girlfriends can steal . Check out the link below under the pics! I may have to buy something myself..... ; ) Not about being teachers pet promise!

Thursday was Fashion styling. I love my teacher, she is totally quirky, and threw us into our first project of creating a trend we think would be good for Winter 2012.
I was definitely worried, eek! How do I do this? Create a look that I think is trendy for everyone?
We are not allowed to google trends and we have to really look at people on the street, in bars, clubs, restaurants etc.
We can present it any way we want. So I think I want to try drawing it, one because it will be a good experiment for my drawing skills and two.... well my camera is not working properly so its the only way I feel comfortable doing so. Though I could do a power point.... We shall see.
Monkey and I explored West London a little more towards the weekend, we ended up around Carnaby street and I signed up for a Fascinator course at Atelier Millinery on Feb 4th:

Lovely little shop and only 4 people to a class so we get some one to one attention. Looking forward to it anyhow!
Its gettting nippy out and I am becoming a true artiste of the layering form, thinking thats where my trend will go....
So anyway ladies and gents, that's a very quick re-cap to a busy week. Promise more blogging will occur this week, will try to keep this updated and add some new pics of my adventure as I go....
